PB2, Re:<This is very strange, how can AMD get a chip that dissipates 30 watts not to melt a notebook?> 1) Cut the voltage so it doesn't dissipate 30W. 2) Put it in a relatively bigger form factor compared to form factors that can be achieved with a chip that dissipates less power. Honest question: How much do the AMD based notebooks weigh." I think the plan was to use 0.18 micron for the mobile KIII's, similar to Dixon. . I hope this will be the case. We will know more in a few days I guess. The current K6-2 notebooks weigh the same as Intels I believe. The battery life can be a staggering couple of hours if you're lucky. Regards, Kash Johal.
